    No channels, It does not work for NTL Ireland. I tried it twice. Thanks for all your help it probably works for the UK but not Ireland.

    Been told it works in ireland mate.

    If you load this image do a fresh scan of channels using bruteforce then reboot.

    All goes well the cam should kick in and you'll have the channels.

    hi pamela,

    i believe to flash using dreamup you need a null modem cable not a crossover ethernet cable,
    however you can f.t.p. using a crossover cable. i use filezilla to ftp. it is free to download from the web. just google it.

    when you run this programme it asks for the boxes ip address and the user and password.

    user is root and password is dreambox ( for the dm500c)
    the box ip address can be found from the menu on the box using the remote control.

    good luck


    mark ..

    thats the boxes ip address pamela.

    which box are you using?

    if its the dreambox you can find the boxes ip address easily enough.

    i was trying to type from memory how to find the boxes ip address but i cant remember.

    look above at one of chris's posts i seem to remember he posted a tutorial and somewhere in ther it tells you how to find your boxes ip address.

    good luck

    one other thing pamela,

    if you are using a normal ethernet cable ( the type you use for connecting to the internet )

    then this will not work it must be a crossover cable.

    the other option if you have a hub is to connect pc to hub then hub to dreambox.

    Hi guys

    Im a bit new to this so was wondering if anybody could help me out. i have downloaded the tool bar and also DW Dream 1.6.2 enigma dm500-c.zip. I have also downloaded dream up. But i am a bit stuck as to what to do now. I understand that you have got to use dream up to flash your box but not sure what to do with Dw Dream 1.6.2 and also what does ypdate the box mean. When i open dream up there is two spaces for IP addresses and these have numbers in them do i need to change these at all and if so what to. I know i am probably being a bit dumb but would much appreciate somebodys help.

    Cheers

    Turkish

    The cable i am using is a null modem cable i think i have got to connect into the back of my PC and it looks like an old printer cable with pins on either end.

    thanks for your help.

    so if its a null modem cable connect one end to your pc and the other to the dreambox.

    start dream up

    uncheck the use network box

    click the drop down and select the port your cable is connected to.

    click connect.

    unplug your dreambox wait a few seconds then plug it back in.

    if your using a null modem cable the pc will detect the dreambox and the bar will start filling from left to right until its connected.

    you will get a message saying something like " the dreambox is talking to the pc"

    then you simply select flash and browse for the image you want to flash onto your box.

    you will be asked if you want to perfoem a flash erase click ja

    this takes a while so have a cup uf tea.

    when this is all done i.e. uploading image flash erasing old image and the box flashing from memory

    unplug the box again for a few seconds then plug it in again

    that should be it

    go to a channel you know is free to view i.e. rte 2 to make sure all is working then try sly sp@rts news and leave it a minute or two.

    if that doesnt come up you may have to change the keys. theres posts here on how to do that just read back a few dozen pages.

    let me know how you get on

    cheers !!
